Highland Global Business Valuations announces the release of the 2nd Quarter 2014 Update to "Discount Statistics of Closed-End Funds"

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Orlando, Florida, & Washington, DC, October 17, 2014-Highland Global Business Valuations is pleased to announce the release of its 2nd Quarter 2014 Update to its quarterly research on "Discount Statistics of Closed-End Funds."

Each quarter, Barron's Online (www.barrons.com) reports statistics on publicly-traded closed-end funds. The statistics reported include the discount (or premium) of the market price from the fund's net asset value (NAV), the 52-week average discount or premium, the fund's objective, and various return measurements, etc. Highland Global analyzes this information and calculates various statistics such as the average discount to NAV and the median discount to NAV for the quarter and for the fifty-two weeks then ended.

The full update and results of Highland Global's analysis are available at www.HighlandGlobal.com. Business appraisers, attorneys, academics, students, or accountants may find Highland Global's research in this area useful in developing reference points for discounts applicable to minority interests in family limited partnerships or privately held entities that hold a diversified portfolio of financial assets analogous to closed-end funds.
